Vengeance

The glasses woman's gaze remained on Yuna for a while then said, trying to encourage her:

"Perhaps with the heiress' personality, she'll quickly get bored and pushed this back onto us. You could try to investigate his death when that happens."

Yuna didn't give any response and silently turned around and started walking away from the office. She slammed the door behind her and moved across the empty hallway with a gloomy face.

"Wish to exact vengeance?" An old voice reached Yuna's ears which drew her attention.

An old man with dark skin stood in front of her with his hands in his pockets, he wore glasses on his face as he looked at her with a subtle smile.

"Dr.John, what are you doing here?" Yuna asked in confusion.

"I heard about Brad's death, so I wanted to check up on you." John said with a smile.

Yuna felt there was something else hidden behind his reason of visiting her, but she didn't dwell much into that and coldly said:

"I'm fine, thank you for asking."

She walked past John, no longer paying any heed to the old man but suddenly his voice rang out:

"Whoever killed Brad must have been a formidable Divine. Your strength alone might not be sufficient to stand against such individual." John said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"...What are you trying to say?" Yuna halted her footsteps and said after a moment of silence.

"I have a way to increase your power by leaps and bounds, are you interested to know?"

"...Tell me about it." Yuna turned around to face John with a strange spark in her eyes.

Around a week later, at the third floor of Hilbert Hotel.

Sunlight shone through the window of a room onto the face of a sleeping figure inside it. After a while, the figure of a young man sat up while stretching his limbs as he let out a loud yawn.

The young man stood up and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower. 15 minutes later, he walked out of the room with only his underwear as he sighed in comfort:

"Nothing beats a morning cold shower after all."

The young man was Achilles Morningstar, it had been a week ever since he had sealed a deal to make fake documents and bought his necessary items. The last week had been quite casual for him with nothing especially worth mentioning happened.

Today was a bit different since it was the day that would go to pick up his documents from the old man Frank. So he woke up earlier than usual to get the matter over with and starts going out to level up.

After getting fully dressed and ordering his breakfast, Achilles sat on the bed with right hand on his chin as he contemplated:

'Things seem to be going well as planned...perhaps a bit too well?'

Indeed, everything that he had done over the past two weeks was met with no obstacle and everything progressed smoothly, which was weird since troubles usually come to find their way to him.

Well, there was still the matter regarding who had spied on him, but ever since then, not a single thing had happened. He had speculated thousands different scenarios of what might or might not occur but what he was met with was simply nothing. The feeling of being followed also vanished ever since that day.

On the surface, this was a good sign since he would not have to worry about being monitored by anyone. However, something was missing, Achilles could instinctively feel that he had slipped some minor but extremely important details, or he had forgotten to take something into consideration.

But no matter how hard he tried to rack his brain, he simply couldn't pinpoint to the thing he had missed. It was a peculiar feeling, almost as if someone...or perhaps something had covered his mind with a veil that made him unable to recall what he desperately needed to know.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell to Achilles' room rang which snapped him out of his thoughts. He went to the door to receive his food and quickly shut it behind him after finishing the transaction. He sat on the bed and started munching on his food while thinking:

'It's best if I put this aside for now, let's just focus on getting the documents I need first.'

Achilles proceeded on gobbling down the rest of his meal and went to grab his necessities. He covered a hoodie that was different from the one from the other day before getting out of his room in a sneaky manner.

He arrived outside a room and wait at a station for a public transportation to come. After a while, a bus pulled up in front of him and he quickly got in the vehicle.

'If that old bastard tries to cheat off me...' Achilles let his thoughts trail off in the middle of the way as the bus flew through the sky.
